\title Format of the QDataStream Operators
The \l QDataStream allows you to serialize some of the Qt data types.
The table below lists the data types that QDataStream can serialize
and how they are represented.
It is best to always cast integers to a Qt integer type when writing,
and to read back into the same Qt integer type when reading.
\table
\row \i Q_INT8
\i \list
\i signed byte
\endlist
\row \i Q_INT16
\i \list
\i signed 16 bit integer
\endlist
\row \i Q_INT32
\i \list
\i signed 32 bit integer
\endlist
\row \i Q_UINT8
\i \list
\i unsigned byte
\endlist
\row \i Q_UINT16
\i \list
\i unsigned 16 bit integer
\endlist
\row \i Q_UINT32
\i \list
\i unsigned 32 bit integer
\endlist
\row \i float
\i \list
\i 32-bit floating point number using the standard IEEE-754 format
\endlist
\row \i double
\i \list
\i 64-bit floating point number using the standard IEEE-754 format
\endlist
\row \i char *
\i \list
\i The size of the string including the terminating 0 (Q_UINT32)
\i The string bytes including the terminating 0
\endlist
The null string is represented as \c {(Q_UINT32) 0}.
\row \i QBitArray
\i \list
\i The array size (Q_UINT32)
\i The array bits, i.e. (size + 7)/8 bytes
\endlist
\row \i QBrush
\i \list
\i The brush style (Q_UINT8)
\i The brush color (QColor)
\i If style is CustomPattern, the brush pixmap (QPixmap)
\endlist
\row \i QByteArray
\i \list
\i The array size (Q_UINT32)
\i The array bytes, i.e. size bytes
\endlist
\row \i QCString
\i \list

\row \i QColorGroup
\i \list
\i foreground (QBrush)
